A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Researchers report (“Daily electrical activity in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal”) in eLife the first-ever recording and modeling of the electrical activity of circadian clock neurons ...

Researchers warn that implanted nerve cuff electrodes can trigger unintended nerve stimulation and pain during MRI scans.

A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature’s simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.
